The time has arrived to share my plans for maternity leave with you all. It's bittersweet to say goodbye to my classes and clients for a little while but I'm so excited to welcome my second baby boy into this world. The weeks have truly flown by and I only have 5 more weeks to go before he arrives.

Summer has officially arrived and here in Boston this means a slew of free fitness events around the city. Here's my list of FREE classes I'm teaching this summer before going out on maternity leave. Don't miss out! 

Nike is bringing it's free NTC Barre classes to Boston and I'm so honored to be teaching them! Our first class will be this Wednesday, March 23rd at 7:04am at Nike Boston on 200 Newbury Street.

I'm sharing my insider barre buzz with you guys from North End Yoga. So many exciting things are happening at the studio. Don't miss out on being in the know! 

Did you know that I love animals just as much as I love Pilates? Join me at a special class I'm teaching to raise money for the Animal Rescue League of Boston at Equinox on Saturday, March 19th at 11:30AM. 

"The strongest people are not those who show strength in front of us, but those who win battles we know nothing about." Recently I was moved by the story of a local mom battling cancer. Little did I know she attended a few of my classes and would end up teaching me a big life lesson. 

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! Now it's time to ring in 2016 with THREE new class and workout announcements! Can't wait to reveal the latest ways you can move your body with JPPilates in the New Year! 

When was the last time you did something you were afraid to try? For me, today I checked a big mark off my Boston fitness to-do list. I took my first ever Barry's Bootcamp class. And I survived to tell you all about it. 

Why not use social media for a bigger platform to keep us on our toes and feeling empowered and excited? For the next few Fridays you can tune in to see some of my favorite accounts which I will feature on my Instagram page. The idea is that you will go check them out and hopefully follow for motivation too.

Tis the season for everything but workouts. Don't give up on your fitness routine just because things get busy. Here are my tips for sticking with it and staying motivated during the holiday season. 

All it took was one very tiny, unexpected little hug to change my mood, perspective and mindset this holiday season. When was the last time you really thought about all you were grateful for in your life? Not the things, but the people who surround you, lift you and keep you sane. Go hug them and tell them what they mean to you. Happy Thanksgiving! 

Life lately has been zooming by. We traveled to California in August and arrived back in Boston just in time for fall to whirl into place, with new classes, new schedules and new adventures in full force.

Enjoy photos revealed from my latest lifestyle photo shoot with Lucie Wicker Photography. 

Everything felt like a race against the clock. I was making silly mistakes. I wasn’t excelling. I wasn’t myself. At some point along the way I realized I was missing one key ingredient in my new motherhood puzzle. Balance. It was when I stopped trying to do it all that I actually started to thrive.

You've been hearing rumblings for months. Questions have been asked. And the time has finally come. Asana, Charlestown's BRAND NEW Yoga, Pilates and Barre studio is officially opening on September 1st! And I'm excited to be teaching 5 new classes a week!  

Well, I did it! Another photo shoot for the record books has been completed! I hung from beams, climbed walls, sat on walls, planked from walls and pulled myself up on multiple structures in alley ways, literally next to dumpsters. It was not glamorous. It felt raw and most importantly I felt strong and sexy. 

My last photo shoot was over two years ago. Since then I've given birth and struggled to get my body back to where I think it should be. Am I ready to get back in front of the camera again? 

Boston Moms continue to impress me, packing the Greenway for Stroller Bootcamp class sponsored by Safety1st. Everyone who attended class is eligible to win a Step and Go Stroller. Contest runs through the weekend and winner is announced on Monday. Just two easy steps to participate.
